Glen Campbell Net Worth $50 Million

Boasting Campbell’s smooth vocals and layered arrangements, where steel guitars bounced off sweeping strings, those songs not only became country hits, they crossed over to the pop charts too, that was appropriate, since that’s where he began his musical career. Originally, he was a La session musician, playing on hits from the Monkees, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Merle Haggard. By the conclusion of the ’60s, he’d become a successful solo artist, which success wouldn’t abate until the late ’80s, when he stopped having radio hits and began concentrating on live performances at his theatre in Branson.

Learning the instrument from various relatives, he played consistently throughout his youth, eventually gravitating toward jazz players like Barney Kessel and Django Reinhardt. While he was learning guitar, he also sang in a neighborhood church, where he developed his vocal skills. From the time he was 14, he’d started performing using numerous country groups in the Arkansas, Texas, and New Mexico region, including his uncle’s group, the Dick Bills Band. When he was 18, he formed his own country band, the Western Wranglers, and began touring the South with the group.

Quote

I'd never acted in a movie before, and every time I see True Grit (1969) I think my record's still clean!

People speak out today, like the guy that did it on the Academy Awards [Michael Moore]. They can make an ass out of themselves if they do that. I don't get mixed in with politics.
